If you're looking for freshly made Filipino food, this is the place to visit. You can get it to take out or dine in. They also... sell some of the groceries. Credit cards are accepted. Parking is onsite. Read more
Overall really good food. Have ordered catering trays a couple times and very little hasn?t been enjoyed by kids and adults. I... just wish their online menu had descriptions of the multitude of dishes to make deciding easier. Googling every dish I?munfamiliar with takes time and is inconvenient. Read more
I love the pork skewers so much. Reminds me of my childhood in Florida with my Filipino relatives. The flan is my fav... indulgence. All the chicken dishes are just as I grew up with, true Filipino comfort food. I am so happy I was able to bring mymom here before she passed and share with her the food she shared with me growing up as half Filipino. Read more
Food is delicious and my filipino in-laws loved it! Only complaint is that much of the dishes are riddles with bone shards and... inedible fatty bits. I?m glad they used all of the animal but sometimes you split a dish with someone and you only end up with abit or two or meat you can eat and you must be careful! Read more
This is a place you want to go to for some authentic Filipino food. It?s not expensive and the portions should be able to fill... you up. I usually get a combo that?s $8? you get to pick either rice or noodles, and 2 meats on the side. Highly recommend???????? Read more
solid deals. small selection of groceries. food consistency is key to repeat business and they definitely execute. top it off... with friendly staff and this place is a staple when you crave Filipino foods. Read more
I?m glad I finally stopped in here. I will say that the portions are enormous and the prices are very budget friendly so you... get a lot of bang for your comfort food buck here. My dad is Filiipino so I developed a taste for this country?s incrediblecuisine at an early age. Some dishes I won?t eat simply because of the ingredients but most Filipino dishes are fair game forme. I got a combo meal for under $9 (includes a drink!) and they are so generous with the sides that they put them in separatecontainers as opposed to squeezing them into the compartments of the the takeout styrofoam containers! I had lunch for two daysfor the price of one! I ordered pancit (noodles), a veggie side made with squash and long beans in coconut milk which I believeis called Ginataang Kalabasa, and pork belly. The pork was very flavorful and a real treat! I would love it if the dishes herewere labeled so that it would be easier to make selections. The set up is no-nonsense cafeteria style and as I mentioned, theyare very generous with portions. Filipinos are never stingy with portions! I remember growing up going to family parties wherethe supply of food was limitless. Having had the opportunity to travel abroad to the Philippines years ago, I was met with thesame hospitality! I?d like to go back to Tropical Hut and try more dishes. The Philippines is a country comprised of a vastnumber of islands and regions, and the food is a distinct reflection of this variety. The food is also a unique product of thecountry?s significant Chinese and Spanish histories. There is also a Malay-Indonesian history, among other ethno-linguisticgroups. Latin and Asian fusion is ever present in Filipino food. This restaurant caters also! Maybe that?s where all the lumpia(Filipino version of egg roll) went because they didn?t have any! Darn! Well, until next time! Read more
The place is clean and staff is very friendly. The food is presented well. I should have asked to sample the food before... ordering. I ordered, lechon kawali and 2 combo meals with pancit. beef caldereta, chicken teriyaki, sisig, and chayote.Alsoordered turon. The pancit is too soft, strong peppery taste and overcooked. The pancit spoiled the taste of the other dishes. Ihad to get back in line to order white rice hoping the pancit was the problem. With the white rice it did not matter. Thelechon kawali is dry and overcooked. All the other dishes are not good at all. Fortunately the turons were perfectly cooked;crisp, moist, not oily and not too sweet. For this visit the and the food selected I am giving this place 2-3 stars. Read more
